Award Winning Dark Side Of The Wall return to headline Pink Floyd Fest on Sunday 2nd December

Award winning Pink Floyd tribute Dark Side Of The Wall return to the Hare & Hounds on Sunday 2nd December to headline our 51st Anniversary celebration of Pink Floyd's iconic performance at King's Heath's now burnt down Ritz Ballroom next door to the Hare & Hounds.

Still fronted at that time by the charismatic Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd's appearance in December 1967 came shortly after the release of their second single See Emily Play and their first album The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn.

Now they have become one of the most bestselling and influential groups of all time and were last year the subject of a major retrospective exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

From 3 pm to 6 pm a great selection of local musicians including a sreformed Peters & Dog, Brum Radio's Layla Tutt, Joey Smith, Tim Walkerdine and Graham Kay's Mutual Aid will perform their favourite Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett songs at Fletchers Bar on York Road.

At 7 pm doors will then open at the Hare & Hounds opposite for the return of the award winning tribute band Dark Side Of The Wall after last year's sold out show. Expect to hear a great selection of Pink Floyd songs from their extensive back catalogue performed by a fantastic tribute band who regularly play major sold out events throughout the whole country.

Don't miss out on an amazing 2.5 hour full lighting show starting at 7.45 pm to commemorate a truly historic event.

Europe's No.1 Tribute Band The Stones headline RollKing Stones Fest on 30 September

Europe's leading Rolling Stones tribute band The Stones return to the Hare & Hounds after their sensational show last year in a concert to conclude King's Heath's 55th Anniversary celebration of The Rolling Stones first ever appearance in Birmingham at the now sadly burnt down Ritz Ballroom.

Our day long RollKing Stones Fest will take place on Sunday 30 September starting with an Afternoon Session featuring top local musicians at Fletchers Bar from 3p.m. to 6 p.m and ending with The Stones performing a two hour show at 7.45 p.m. at the Hare & Houndsnext door to the old ballroom.

Formed in London in 1962 by Brian Jones after he met up with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards who had been childhood friends, the Rolling Stones started out as a blues group taking their name from the title of a song by Muddy Waters. For the whole of 1962 they played exclusively in the London area. But all that changed on 7 June 1963 after they released their first single a cover of Chuck Berry's "Come On". Just a few months later on 14 September 1963 they played one of their first ever gigs outside London and their first ever in Birmingham at King's Heath's Ritz Ballroom. Joining Brian, Mick and Keith on the tiny stage were Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts. The day after they returned to London to play at the Great Pop Prom at the Royal Albert Hall! When they next returned to Birmingham they played the much larger Town Hall and Hippodrome before going on to become the world's greatest Rock and Roll Band in the world selling over 200 million albums.

From 7.45 pm The Stones will bring to the stage at the Hare & Hounds all the energy and excitement of a live Rolling Stones concert in a serious tribute to their music in a sensational climax to the One Day Mini Festival

Their repertoire covers songs from all periods of the Rolling Stones career, but the majority of songs are from the 1960's and 70's

Don't miss this unique event to commemorate the greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World's Birmingham debut.
